We found this car in Iowa and bought it in April, ‘99. It was built in LA in Dec. ‘69. The previous owners lived in Colorado, so this car is slowly working its way east. It is a original 440-6Pak car, the trans. and Dana rear end match with the motor being replaced. It’s undergone a amateur restoration in ‘95, including an engine rebuild. Only 6K on the car since ‘95. We have detailing the engine compartment and interior over the last year and a half. It’s a work in progress and we sure enjoy it. |
